Dunno if the library I checked this out from had to do any re-assembly of the volume, but some of the pages were out of order near the end...

Regardless, I enjoyed this little foray back into the world where cryptids, mythology, Shakespeare, and crazy sci-fi all merge into one glorious gestalt. Supposedly picks up right after the 2nd season finale and adapts some of the premiere episodes of season 3, New York City knows of the existence of the Chernabog-lites that come alive when the sun goes down.
The Muggles, understandably, fear & hate them.
So hate groups & clones from their past are doing their best to make them miserable, BUT OH! THERE'S RELATIONSHIP DRAMA TOO!
Too bad volume 2 is going to be as difficult to find as Avatar: the Last Airbender LEGO sets...

This is a good start, and I'm definitely looking forward to more. The whole thing was a bit of an info dump, and I can't remember the story lines from the movies, so I'm not sure if they introduced new characters or I'd these are all old ones. But excited to start the series!

Excepção feita aos dois primeiros capítulo, que seguem a linha do primeiro episódio das "Crónicas de Golias" este volume mostra um rumo narrativo muito mais interessante e complexo que o apresentado na segunda série de Gargoyles, sendo a principal falha o desenho.

Não obstante, continua a haver umas quantas coisas que põe em causa o senso comum de Weisman. Morgan and Elisa? Really?
